Resourcing Primary Science

This unit has been created by Rosemary Feasey to support teachers with responsibility for science in primary schools.

The aim is help teachers to develop and organise science resources, so that they can be used to full potential by everyone in the school.

The unit offers suggestions on a range of topics from developing a school policy, purchasing and organising resources, to health and safety, as well as tips for using resources and contact details for equipment suppliers.
